The Dwarves, also known as Battleborn, are a disparate and widely-varying people. Socially and politically, they are divided into at least 50 Companies; functionally independent mercenary groups, which rarely share views or styles of leadership. And while the Companies typically regard one another with higher regard than they do the Reign or Vervlokt plots, even between Companies there are rivalries, wars, and feuds that can last for decades.
Northborn Whether you remain there now or not, your line comes from the Northern Battleborn Companies of old. The truest warriors and the proudest adventurers, your ancestors smile down on those who survive by the axe and the shield.
Southron The old ways are dead. Those who deny that are fools, and those who embrace it thrive. The Battleborn are no longer deserving of that name, and the Southern Dwarves would have their entire race realize this truth.
Tinker Among the Southern Companies, a few of the smaller follow very peculiar methods of survival and styles of fighting. These Companies are often known as "Sappers" to outsiders, but within they are most often broadly painted as the Tinkers.
Tailor While some Companies pride themselves on holding true to the 'Old Ways', and being pure fighting regiments, those that have flourished in the last century of little warfare have adapted their traditions to better suit peacetime.
Soldier Born and raised among one of the Northern Companies, you spent your early years being made to appreciate the only two sureties in life: death and discomfort.
Spy Until recent events it was not even a confirmed fact among the other races that the Grey Company even existed.
Origins
The Battleborn were created by Jatos, the God of War and Craftsmen, to fight against the Elves during the wars of the Dark Age.
